Welcome to Future Network ADN Forum 2016!
In the near future, there will be more than 100 billion devices connected. The vision of future network is to effectively connect all of the things and provide ubiquitous information services for people and machine. A few great challenges will be emerging. The first one is the existing Internet business model based on people and connection couldn’t support the IoT service any more. The second one is how to realize an experience-first network from current connection-first network. The third one is how to realize the automation of network deploy and optimization through the development of cloud computing, big data and AI technology.
Future Network ADN Forum organized by the Huawei FNT Lab, focuses on these challenges and is to define a better enough future network for the coming IoT era. In this event, the global top researchers in academy and industry will come and discuss the future network evolution trends, share ideas with each other including the network softwarization, application aware data plane, application aware DCN, content oriented architecture and other exiting topics. Welcome to join us to promote technology innovation and explore the cooperation opportunities.
